Designed for single pass applications, this 2 lbs. flux core wire provides smooth arc action and full slag coverage. This welding supply accessory features self-shielding and low spatter that makes welding and slag removal quick and easy! From body work to thin alloy, this flux core welding wire will ensure high quality welding on a variety of applications.

This is quality flux core wire. As others have mentioned, make sure HF doesn't switch suppliers and it says "Made in Italy" on th spool.

If you're using one of the later model (black) 90 amp flux core welders, this spool will fit, but you may have to cut 1 inch off the plastic sleeve that you feed the wire in to. I also feel better leaving the hold down for the spool a little loose, and I like to snug up the tension roler on the feed mechanism just a bit.

Additionally, I think even the manual says you can use the .035 tip for either .030 or 035 wire. I've found I get a more consistent weld with less spatter by using the .030 tip with the .030 wire.

If I could justify maintaining an actual MIG setup, only using flux wire occasionally, I might not buy the 10lb spool. Since my wire welders are AC, flux only, and I use it frequently, it doesn't pay to buy the 2lb spools. Buying this wire on the 10lb spool will save you 30 do11ars over the life of 5 2lb spools. Just a thought.

If you're using one of the older 90amp flux wire welders, the blue ones, this spool will clamp just fine, but I was unable to close the cover due to interference with the 10 inch spool. I still use that welder, but only with the 2lb spools, and I keep .035 wire in it for sticking together mildly larger steel. I bought the black one because it occurred to me that the blue one is over 10 years old and has been severely overworked. I intended to keep the black one for a hot spare, but then somebody told me it would take the 10lb spools, so I started using it as my main wire welder, keeping the blue one as more of a backup.

I do prefer to use a stick on larger stuff, but these flux wire welders are awesome long beeds on thin steel. They're just too convenient not to use.

This is the wire I prefer for those machines, and for the price, how can you knock it?

I used it for static load applications just for the fact it is self sheilded wirefeed, id suggest stick for anything that really doesnt need a weld to fail like anything going down the road or holding something heavy overhead.Just some advise to keep spatter to a minimum is to pull the gun and keep the wire feeding into about the first third of the puddle when you can cause it can throw some bb's like crazy if you get out of the sweet spot, also clean the metal before hand with atleast a wirewheel to help with porosity, i know they say it can burn through rust and blah blah but its just a good habit and a weld with pin holes just looks sloppy

I weld alot.I used alot of other brands.Alot of people use my welder and like it.I tell them what wire I use.sometimes I have to show them.I tell all of them.I pay less and have the same out come as I do with all the other brands I have used. All of the people that used my weder agree.Most of them changed the wire they use.Why spend moore to get the same.Remeber E71-GS flux core wire WILL get the job done if you know how to weld.

I bought this today to weld a hockey goal together. Used in conjunction with my Mig 171 welder, this flux core wire worked perfectly. Very low spatter. This is NOT the wire everyone talks about. This is made in Italy and it is very very different than the wire that came with my welder. I have used Hobart and Lincoln wire and this is the same. Make sure it says made in Italy- if its not, it is not this product. Good slag formation, came off great with a wire brush, no chipping necessary. Buy some and try it.
